Prime95 is a program used to test the CPu under heavy load. Actually it is used to test its stability and if it gives errors.
Yes I use Via Hardware Monitor. I just downloaded Motherboard Monitor 5 and this evening I'll install it.
My Duron goes to 54C after 10 hours of heavy load (stability test), but not more. I must say I have a cheap HSF (an Acorp one), with a medium radiator and a fan going at max 5000rpm.
Guess I'll have to modify the mobo for more Vcore and I'll buy an GW FOP38.

Actually Prime95 is a client used by distributed computing network similar to seti@home and folding@home. There goal is to find huge prime numbers. To make sure your computer is good enough for this task, the client has built in self test. This test is popular (free) among overclockers to test stability.
